Behind these frequently appearing keywords in recent economic news lies the conflict between "free trade" and "protectionism (trade)." Especially since the first Trump administration, the United States, once considered the standard-bearer of free trade, has rapidly shifted towards protectionism. In a second term, policies that shake the existing international order are being promoted, such as stopping contributions to the WTO and unilateral tariff measures against the entire world. As a result, the conventional premise of "free trade = good" is collapsing, and the world is in deep confusion. Now, even the fields of national security, climate change, and digital transactions are being incorporated into the issue of "trade," and we are facing a situation that cannot be grasped within the conventional framework. To understand this situation, it is essential to grasp the basic axis of free trade and protectionism. By having this axis, you can understand the structure of international politics and economics in a three-dimensional way, and you can more easily understand the impact on Japan, the industries in which readers work, and their daily lives. This book aims to be an easy-to-understand business education book that reconstructs the complex reality of trade from the simple opposing axis of "free trade vs. protectionism" and deciphers the "gaps" in economic news and international politics. #Halloween on Mercari
